245: Chapter 245 The Gluttonous Senior Sister

"Qin Ge?"

Jiang Ling turned her head and looked at the two women who had rashly broken into the villa, her large, watery eyes filled with astonishment. When she looked at Qin Ge again, the corners of her pretty mouth twitched twice. "You are a living person?!"

Even though she was confused as to why Qin Ge could be so calm while in the Ghost Domain, she had to believe the fact that Mu Xinyi and Ning Ke'er recognized Qin Ge.

After all, if Qin Ge were a Ghostly creature, he would at least have to be a powerful ghost of several hundred, or even a thousand, years.

How could he have known the twenty-something Mu Xinyi and Ning Ke'er?

She had no face to ask Qin Ge to put her down.

If it weren't for Qin Ge's strength already being unfathomable, enough to allow his Physical Body to become ethereal...

...her sword strike just now would have already pierced Qin Ge to death.

Feeling guilty, she could only turn her head to look at Mu Xinyi and Ning Ke'er, saying angrily, "Didn't I tell you to run away? Why did you break in? Are you trying to get yourselves killed!?"

If not for the fact that this was all a misunderstanding, Mu Xinyi and Ning Ke'er's actions...

...would be no different from seeking their own deaths!

Mu Xinyi rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction. "When you're out in the world, loyalty is what matters!"

Ning Ke'er nodded. "You are in trouble, how could we just turn around and leave? We have to at least take you with us."

Jiang Ling opened her mouth, but the words that reached her lips were swallowed back down.

She had only met Mu Xinyi and Ning Ke'er by chance, and the fact that these two were able to rush in without regard for their own safety...

...truly left her feeling both helpless and moved.

Qin Ge watched the scene before him, not at all surprised.

Mu Xinyi and Ning Ke'er are both Daughters of Destiny; how could they possibly do something like fleeing in the face of danger?

Shangguan Yuer is cowardly enough, right?

If Shangguan Yuer were secretly surrounded by strong enemies, as long as she could survive, she wouldn't hesitate for a second to kneel and kowtow three hundred times.

But previously in the Demon Capital, when encountering Bai Feng's massacre, Shangguan Yuer clearly could have escaped alone. Yet, she used the substitute Puppet created by Dantai Qingyue's technique to cover her retreat, and at the most dangerous moment, she revealed the secret of her fake death herself to stop Ruan Star Tenderness and Qin Huanhuan.

If even a Daughter of Destiny as cautious and fearful of death as Shangguan Yuer could step forward and risk danger for the greater good...

...then what more of Mu Xinyi and Ning Ke'er, these two Daughters of Destiny who have never seen a Ghost Domain and don't know the immensity of heaven and earth?

"Qin Ge, how are you in Qingyuan City, and why are you appearing in such an evil place?"

Mu Xinyi stepped forward, her large eyes filled with astonishment as she asked.

She looked at Jiang Ling, who was being dangled in mid-air, and rolled her eyes. "Jiang Ling, are you mistaken? You keep claiming to be the sole direct descendant of the Celestial Master Sect, yet you can't even tell the difference between a human and a ghost?"

"I..."

Jiang Ling wanted to explain, but she was at a loss for words.

She looked at Qin Ge, gritted her teeth, lowered her head, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm sorry."

"I am the one who hurt you."

Mu Xinyi and Ning Ke'er looked at each other.

What the hell?

Why is Jiang Ling apologizing to Qin Ge?

It was Jiang Ling who shouted for them to run away, and it was also Jiang Ling who, the moment they walked in, was being dangled in mid-air and kept fanning Qin Ge's face.

Why is the victim apologizing to the perpetrator?

"You didn't have any malicious intent; your ability to discern things is just a bit poor."

Qin Ge did not make things difficult for Jiang Ling and dropped the Jiang Ling he was holding heavily onto the ground.

Jiang Ling's little head wobbled several times with a thud before finally stabilizing.

"Qin Ge, how come you are in Qingyuan City?"

Ning Ke'er, wearing a fashionable casual outfit and looking exceptionally youthful and beautiful, raised her pretty eyes, gazing longingly at the Qin Ge before her as she asked softly.

Qin Ge held Ning Ke'er's small hand and said casually, "I heard you were back from your trip and were in Qingyuan City, so I thought I'd come over to see you."

"It just so happened that I met a friend who said there were strange occurrences at this villa, so they asked me to come over and take a look."

"I didn't expect to run into you here."

Ning Ke'er obediently let Qin Ge hold her small hand without struggling; even with Mu Xinyi and Jiang Ling staring, she only shyly lowered her little head.

When she heard that Qin Ge came to Qingyuan City to see her, Ning Ke'er raised her little head, unable to suppress her joy as she said, "You came to find me?"

Beside them, Mu Xinyi crossed her arms over her ample chest.

It seemed like she was teasing Ning Ke'er for being obedient.

In reality, she was showing off her impressive assets to Qin Ge.

She huffed deliberately, "I had originally agreed with Keer that after climbing a few more mountains, we would go abroad. But Keer changed her mind halfway through, saying she wouldn't go abroad no matter what and insisted on coming back."

"As for her, she didn't go back to the Demon Capital and didn't think about visiting her aunt and uncle. Instead, she insisted on following me back to Yunhai City. I don't know who in Yunhai City has managed to bewitch my good friend so thoroughly that she misses him day and night and isn't even willing to spend a few extra days apart!"

Ning Ke'er stomped her feet in embarrassment. "Xin Yi, what nonsense are you spouting!"

Mu Xinyi curled her lip. "Nonsense?"

She pointed at the hands Qin Ge and Ning Ke'er were holding. "You've just met, and you're already holding hands tightly. Am I talking nonsense?"

"Ahem..."

Jiang Ling coughed lightly, interrupting the argument between Mu Xinyi and Ning Ke'er, and looked at Qin Ge. "Are you here to explore the Ghost Domain?"

Qin Ge nodded, then asked with a laugh, "You can come, so why can't I?"

Jiang Ling's cute, porcelain-like face flushed slightly. "That's different!"

"I admit that I am not your match, but that is only in terms of Martial Dao. There are Ghostly creatures here, and this is the very center of the Ghost Domain."

"Ghostly creatures are immortal; they cannot be killed, only Sealed. No matter how powerful you are, you will be trapped in the Ghost Domain and worn down until you die!"

"Also, the methods I used against you earlier were specifically to suppress Ghostly creatures, so they naturally don't count as my true strength. Ugh, anyway, saying so much boils down to this: this place is very dangerous. You three should leave quickly, lest you get trapped."

Qin Ge shook his head. "I haven't finished my business yet."

Ning Ke'er, whose fingers were tightly intertwined with Qin Ge's, said just as firmly, "I'm not leaving either!"

Ever since Qin Ge visited the Ning Family, her parents no longer suppressed her.

As for such an exciting place, she was both afraid and thrilled!

Furthermore, Qin Ge was here keeping her company, wasn't he?

Seeing Jiang Ling look at her, Mu Xinyi gave her a huge eye-roll. "There's even less chance of me leaving!"

It was hard enough to run into Qin Ge; shouldn't she get herself fed?

She stared at Jiang Ling, puzzled. "Aren't you the only direct descendant of the Celestial Master Sect? Are you saying that if you can't deal with Qin Ge, you can't deal with Ghostly creatures either?"

Jiang Ling shook her head. "I can protect myself, but that would make you all too dangerous. I am considering your safety!"

Mu Xinyi held up a finger. "One deluxe individual seafood set meal, plus three servings of M9 marbled beef!"

Jiang Ling punched her own ample chest heavily. "None of you three need to leave! As long as I, Jiang Ling, am here tonight, no demons or ghosts will be able to harm a single hair on your heads!"
